I absolutely adore running. It is one of my go to outlets for stress relievers. It makes me a happy camper and I have the opportunity to think when I am running or just ignore the world. Depends on what the case may be.
Last year I was fortunate to run 3 races and I decided that this year I would tackle some more difficult stuff to see if I can do more than I ever thought.
My goal for the year?
14 races for 2014
Crazy I know, but it is a fun challenge and I love all the perks that come with running.. You know the technical shirt/jacket, mug, medal, endorphin's when the buzzer goes off to start the race, the feeling of accomplishment when you hit the finish line. Those things have driven me to meet my challenge.
So here are the races I have signed up for/done so far. I am still in need of 1 more race which I am sure will get fit in towards the end of the year. Currently I will have covered 75.5 miles!

Are you signed up for any races this year? With the weather warming up, it is a perfect time to put the sneakers on and get out and enjoy the weather!!
In June you will be in my neck of the woods! (Florida!) I looked up the distance from my hometown (Fort Myers) to New Smyrna Beach, but a 200+ mile drive for a race I will not be prepared for is just not in the books for me!
ReplyDeleteI will, however, be cheering you on for each race this year!!!!! :-)
Happy Running!! :-)
